Cool Stuff: JLA Trophy Room Replicas

The items featured in today's Cool Stuff column are more geeky and overpriced than "cool", but its not like any of the items in Cool Stuff will ever get you laid (outside of SDCC) in the first place. DC Direct has launched a series of Justice League of America Trophy Room Replicas. The JLA Trophy Room is the heart of the Justice League of America headquarters. This mini-museum holds memorabilia from past members, as well as villainous weapons from various cases. Each of the JLA Trophy Room Replicas includes a brochure "Guide to the Trophy Room" written by best-selling author and JLA scribe Brad Meltzer. Let's take a look.

Multi-colored Kryptonite Replica Display

For the first time, DC Direct brings together the different forms of deadly Kryptonite. Displayed in a special protective case are the four primary forms: Red, Gold, Blue and Green Kryptonite. Each "meteorite" lights up and is permanently housed in the unique glass-domed JLA Trophy Room Display. Packaged in an upscale box, the prop replica measures 7.25" h x 10.75"w x 9.5" d and includes a 4-Color Certificate of Authenticity. For sale on Entertainment Earth for $274.99.
